About us:

We are a successful and ambitious MSP looking for a Marketing Manager to help accelerate our long-term growth. With data centres in Dundee and Aberdeen, we’re one of the best-known IT brands in Scotland and have a great reputation north of the border.

In recent years we’ve added public cloud, back up as a service and cybersecurity to sit alongside our colocation, networking and private cloud services, which means we’ve been able to start attracting customers outside of Scotland. We have won some great business over the past 12 months, have strengthened our sales team and opened a Manchester office earlier in 2024.

But our market has never been more competitive and so we’re seeking a Marketing Manager to drive lead generation, manage campaigns and support business development for our B2B managed services.

About you:

You are a results-driven marketer with experience in lead and demand generation. You are a confident communicator, capable of managing multiple projects, coordinating with key stakeholders and supporting sales teams to drive business growth.

You’ll ideally have a background in B2B marketing within the managed services or technology industry.

What we’re offering:

As well as a very competitive remuneration and benefits package, we’ll give you the freedom to do what you do best and all the tools and support you need to succeed. We have an open, empowering culture and you will be a key part of a very dynamic sales and marketing team. There is also a clear career path into field sales or account management if that is something you are interested in.

What you’ll do:

Lead and demand generation

• Develop and execute multi-channel marketing campaigns to drive new business leads. Manage relationships with external agencies to optimise lead generation efforts, and build and nurture audiences to drive demand.

Campaign management and sales support

• Plan and deliver campaigns, including email marketing, social media and content creation, to engage prospects. Support the sales team to ensure leads effectively move through the pipeline and that sales enablement content is up-to-date.

Events and promotional activity

• Support and attend external events to generate leads and raise brand awareness. Source and manage promotional merchandise to support events and campaigns.

Stakeholder and partner management

• Build and manage relationships with key external stakeholders and industry partners, and collaborate with partners on joint campaigns and sponsorship opportunities.

To apply for this role, please follow our online application process and submit a CV and cover letter.

This is a full-time, temporary position on a 12-month fixed-term contract (covering maternity leave). You will be working 35 hours per week and will be based from Brightsolid’s Dundee, Aberdeen or Manchester office, with the opportunity to work remotely and flexibly. There are occasional in-office requirements as well as work-related travel commitments. We offer a generous package including 34 days holiday, health cash plan, excellent pension, a competitive base salary and bonus/commission, and many more staff discounts and benefits.

We are an equal opportunity employer and encourage applications from everyone and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability or any other protected characteristics.
